ENvOMBED FOR CENTURIES.
Five Nummified Bodies Found I'm
Cavern Eighty Feet Below
the Surface.

A st. Paul telegram says Parties
from the Bad Lands, in Dakota, ar
rived in st. Paul yesterday with five
mummies, which were found by pros
pector in a cavern in the side OF the
mountain. William Allen, while sink
ing shaft near Bulfolo Gap, and when
twenty-five feet from the top, felt the
earth give way beneath him, and his
tools dropped out of sight. Hastily
ascending, by means of rope from the
windlass, he procured a longer rope and
again descended, going down about
eighty feet, and landing in a cavern
twenty feet square.
He was Mortified to see huddled in
one corner the bodies of five persons
a man, woman, and three children.
They were shrivelled to less than half
the usual size of human beings, the
dried-up flesh giving them the appear
ance of mummies. The hair was still
on their heads and the fnger-nails were
perfect, but very long. On the side OF
the cave were some strange hlerogly-
phics and marks as though the inmates
had tried to dig themselves out, aud,
failing in this, left the story of their
fate.
The theory of Mr.. Allen is that the
family took refuge in the cave hundreds
of years ago and that landslide from
the mountain sealed the mouth, leaving
the imprisoned persons to die a horri-
be death by starvation. 1t was near
this place that the immense lower jaw
of a mastodon was discovered and sent
to the Smithsonian Institution.

veto message was read in the house in
which the bin originated. A good
many of the leading Republican jour
nails of the North have committed
themselves 10 the policy OF sustaining
the veto ; and large number of gallant
soldiers have in different ways expressed
to Mr.. CLEVELAND their qualification
that he has proved himself so capable
of welding the wedpon with which the
fathers of the republic armed the Presl-
dent of tie United States as the de-
fender of the Constitution.
How will the Virginia Senators vote y?
We know not. Possibly they may vote
the one on the one side and the other
on the other.
Whatever may be the fate OF the veto
message in the two houses of Congress,
its merits have been lodged in the pub
lie mind, and its result will be to
strengthen Mr.. CLEVELAND vastly as an
aspirant-if he is an aspirant-to q
second term. He has proved himself
to be a President worthy Of the very
best days Of the republic.

Tho Ean,nnr Pana,on Bill.

The vote taken in the House OF Re
presentatiyes last Saturday would seem
to indicate that when it comes up for
consideration under the Presidents
veto, the pauper pension bill will pass
that body by the necessary two thirds.
We do not know that such will be the
result of the bloody-shirt speeches and
the disgracefully sectional appeals made
in the House OF Representatives the
other day and we would fain hope that
their effect might be to the contrary !;
but as in the heat of the debate, it was
stated that not member Of the com
mittse having charge Of the subject was
in favor Of sustaining the veto, we can
not conceive that there is much founda-
tion for any such hope. There are fif'
teen members on that committee, OF
whom the chairman and seven or eight
others are Democrats.
Nevertheless, the bill may never be-
come a law. The Senate is more con-
seryatiye in It's views and actions as a
rule, and does not yield 50 readily as
the lower house to popular clamor. If
the Senators who know the bill to be
wrong will stand by the President, the
veto will be effectual The Democratic
Senators voting as body could OF
course sustain the veto, seeing that they
constitute more than one third OF the
Senate. So could the southern Sena-
tors, Republican and Democratic, OF
whom there are thirty-two, or six more
than would be necessary to sustain the
veto il all the Senators were TO vote
npon the question. Ii is not TO be pre-
Bumed, however, that all the Demo-
cratic or all the southern Senators will
sote to sustain the veto (; and we sup
pose that ii is within the range Of
possibility that some OF the Republic
can Senators may vote on the side of
economy and good government though
Che bill originally passed the Senate
without division. We are confident
ahat come Of the Republican Senators
would have voted on that aldo II the

man on the Franklin Gauge
railroad branch of the Virginia Mid
land, was thrown from locomotive and
had his leg broken and received other
injuries. He brought suit and got a
verdict for $4,000. An appeal was
taken, but the railroad company has
decided to compromise for Sl2, 900,
they paying all costs.
Judge Blackwell, in granting John
Gwynn o new trial, made the charge
that the jury based their verdict on the
speech Of counsel and not on the evil
dence. He referred especially to the
statement by counsel that Gwynn was
the champion of social equality in
North Danville. The jury will publish
a card tomorrow declaring that they
had made mp their minds before coun-
sci spoke. The matter is much dis
cussed here, and has caused something
of a sensation.
The heirs of the late James G. Moor
man have brought suit to recover nine
ty-two acres of land in this city. The
estate is worth q large sum of money,
and the suit will be an interesting one.
The property has passed through the

the suit is based on flaw in the title.

Eruption of the Volcano Mauna Lon.

A San Francisco special of Sunday
say: Adyices from Honolulu to-day give
details Of an eruption of the volcano
Mauna Loa. The eruption began on
January 10th, when a column Of fire
shot up from the south crater. Nothing
more took place for two days Then
suddenly the whole district around the
volcano was kept in tremulous motion
by an almost constant succession OF
heavy earthquake shocks. One cool
headed observer kept record, which
showed 3S3 shocks in thirty-six hours.
Nothing was seen of lava until JAN
uary 18th, as it found an underground
passage. On that day, however, it
broke into view, and three great
rivers Of molten lava took their coulse
20 the sea. One stream reached the
ocean in two days and the others were
reported as not far behind in their
course. They wiped ont plantations,
houses, etc, but, so far as learned,
caused no loss of life, as the natives
and foreigners received timely warning
and abandoned their places. The path
of the lava is through thickly-settled
region, and the damage is great. The
loss from the earthquake is also heavy,
as many walls and buildings were shaken
down. On the night OF January 18th
the terror OF the inhabitants was great,
as they feared that tidal-wave would
follow the shocks. The natives and
Portuguese gathered about the little
church at Punalula, praying for deliv-
erance. A second eruption broke out
February 9TH, and the lava had begun
to flow when the steamer sailed.

more About the proposed steam
ships.
fWsshlneton Star, SATURDAY.

(wsshlngton Star, SATURDAY.
The preparations for building tne
immense iron steamships Pocahontas.'
Powhatan, and ten others attract UNI
yersal attention in Alexandria, and have
awakened lively hopes OF the future
prosperity OF the town. The company
under whose auspices the preparations
are being made is the Arrow Steamship
Company, chartered under the laws OF
New York, and locatedat No. ll5 Broad
way, New York. Its officers are: l.
O'Meara, president, and M. V. b;
Soaring and w. G. Wood, directors, and
Robert NJ. Fryer, chief engineer. Inc
company owns patent granted on the
18th of last January, and the New YORK
Mechanical Engineer says; The
company is capitalized at 81, 600, wv
nominal, with large amount PAID up.
The first of the proposed ships, the
Pocahontas, is described with plans and
wood-cuts in the New York Maritime
Exporter of this week, which states that
the layingof the keel will be commenced
within ten days. 1t is claimed that the
ships built under the Flyers patentcan-
notbe sunk or burned, and can cross the
ocean in less than six days. The Pocahon-
tas is to be $40 feet long and Of dimen-
sions as described in yesterdays Star.
A model of the vessel is on exhibition
at the Boreel building, in New York
city, where it attracts much attention
and comment. The representatives OF
the company have concluded, as already
mentioned in the Star, the purchase
of the ship-yard of the Alexandria
Marine Railway and Ship-Buildins
Company, which occupies the entire
river front east of Union street between
GibbOn and Jefferson streets-two
blocks-about 700 feet riverside, with
five acres area. This purchase has been
sealed by the cash payment Of several
thousand dollars forfeit-money and
while the Agnew company, now in pos
session of the yard, will not surrender
the entire yard until the 1st Of April,
yet ample space for the building of the
Pocahontas on the south side of the
yard has already been put in possession
o Of the Arrow Company. On this ground
the space for laying the ships keel has
now been cleared and staked out. Mr.
Fryer, the chief engineer, and Messrs.
Wood and Soaring, directors, spent the
early part of this week in Alexandria,
and Mr.. W. G. Wood now remains in
charge of the Arrow Company's inte-
rests there. Several houses near the
ship.yard have been rented by en-
ployes, the managing director having
secured the house on Lee street, once
occupied by Hon. W. p. First, late
postmaster.

"Rubbing the Sore.

Messrs. JOHN A. HAMILTON & Co,
of Baltimore, having received letter
from Richmond containing the follow
ing remark:
Your remarks cannot benefit the
cause you are friendly to, but will be
used by the press to add fuel to the
flame. Without speaking definitely,
we predict that the Dispatch and other
papers of the State will make a great
deal of capital out OF your circular, and
will quote its language as proof of the
condemnation of the course of the
bondholders' counsel by the bondhold-
ers' American agents.
Reply as follows:
1.-THE Richmond newspapers are well
come to ali the capital they can make
and satisfaction they can obtain from
anything that we may write. To our
friends who write us on the subject we
beg to say, we fear 'yOu ru6 the sore,
